What did you guys think of the old Duncan Butterfly AL?


I liked it a whole lot. (My brother had one) but he recently sold his. I miss it a little bit. :rofl:

I haven’t tried the one with the delrin cap. But it looks fun as well!

I like that first edition better than the second. I gave mine to a friend and I miss it at times but at the same time I remember feeling like it was a tad heavy for a responsive. It plays very well with a narrow C bearing. Very well. :smiley:

Good to know… Duncan restocked the unknown Butterfly Al’s. :tada:

I just bought the last one. :smiley:
I totally love the hiss the OG AL makes with a dry narrow bearing. I replaced the pads with yellow YYF pads and it had snappy response but the string in Trapeze could still slide back and forth in the gap really well.

I’d like to get a red one at some point. just because I have a red Butterfly.

Have any of you tried the Bassalope? I’d love to know what it’s like.

It’s lots of fun, I’ve played both the small and large bearing version. It was designed to be kind of an in-between at the time, was larger than the Wooly Marmot but smaller than the Peak. Very comfortable and has that "Old School” feel, but also pretty light and agile compared to others around its time, with an almost mid-wall. The C-bearing version was created to give it a little more casual play and less bite on the response.

This morning I’m working on inventorying my collection/wishlist/playlist and I had a quick Q.

What are the specs for the Workhorse v1 & v2?

I’m looking to record:

Diameter
Width
Weight
Gap Width
Bearing Size
Axle
Response
Material

Thanks!

(Here’s my list so far, if anyone is interested)

All hail the cup, haha. Thank you so much again for everything. A lot of people here excited about this. I know it’s going to be killer! :slightly_smiling_face:

Anyone play with a YYR Fluffy Fluffy yet? My main jam forever has been the FH One AL with the plastic caps and the Fluffy Fluffy is basically exactly that except without caps so probably with way better weight distribution. Super appealing to me so I was wondering how it’s hitting for other people so far.

Hello everyone,

This is my first post on the forum and I would like to join the Boomers Club. :slightly_smiling_face:

I started throwing again a bit more than a year ago. I am all in now! :grin: I started as a teen during the boom in 97/98.

I am looking forward to the G2 Workhorse release.
